I archived the phab projects last year.[1] IIRC I did so thinking that would be helpful to avoid bugs/tasks being assigned to somewhere they might not be seen, or in the wrong #tag altogether. Sorry if I erred. Revert freely. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/manage/742/#13354 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/manage/979/#13350 WikiApiary suggests there are 6 users of VectorBeta, however only 1 site (EagleWiki) actually seems to be alive: https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:VectorBeta Some of the features themselves (CPB and Fixed Header, in particular) were liked by many users. It would be nice to re-examine them in the future. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
